IBD/TIPP Economic Optimism Index measures Americans' opinions and outlooks on the economy. The index is based on a nationwide survey of 900 adults and evaluates six-month economic outlook, personal financial outlook, confidence in federal economic policies. Reading above 50 indicates optimism, and below 50 indicates pessimism.

Latest Updates

The IBD/TIPP Economic Optimism Index in the US fell to 41.2 in May of 2022 from 45.5 in April and only barely above March's eight-year low of 41. The six-month outlook for the US economy tumbled 6.5 points to 33.2, the lowest level since August 2011; and the gauge of support for federal economic policies sank 4.4 points to 40.1, the lowest since December 2015. Also, the personal finances subindex slipped 1.8 points to 50.4 and household financial stress hit the highest level since April 2020, at the outset of the pandemic, as gas prices continued to rise following Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the inflation rate hit a new 40-year-high 8.5%.
